Hi Steve, +1 from my side as well. I think the areas where the application directly interacts with database ( w/o any intermediate layer like OpenJPA) would be more vulnerable. The places to look out according to me would be: 1) Migration scripts (which you are already aware of) 2) Various ReadPlatform services wherein we have written SQLs to fetch data from database. 3) Pentaho Reports (not quite sure about it but this module needs to be thoroughly tested after migration).
